What 2 properties of minerals can be expressed in numbers?
Two properties of minerals that can be expressed in numbers are hardness and specific gravity. Hardness is usually determined using the Mohs scale and is expressed as a number between 1 (softest) and 10 (hardest). Specific gravity is the ratio of a mineral's density compared to the density of water and is expressed as a number.
Which properties of minerals can be expressed in numbers?
The crystallographic axes of minerals are expressed as numbers. As such these numbers can also be used to describe the orientation of mineral cleavage planes. The Mohs hardness, specific gravity, and melting point of minerals are also properties that can be expressed numerically.
What are the properties of the operation rational number?
Any number or decimal number that can be expressed as fraction is rational.
What is the properties and uses of the mineral phosphate?
the properties and uses of the mineral
Do the properties of a mineral depend on the type of mineral?
Yes each different mineral will have a unique set of physical properties.

Can the properties of a mineral make it possible to identify the mineral?
yes
Mineral properties cannot be used to identify a mineral?
Mass
What physical properties of mineral is?
Physical properties of a mineral are Influenced largely by chemical composition and atomic structure of the mineral.
What are the properties of special properties?
Special properties are unusual properties a mineral may have that most minerals don't.
The properties of a mineral depends on?
The properties of a mineral depend on its chemistry and atomic bonding.
Can the physical properties of a mineral make it possible to identify the mineral?
yes
